Monkey Island 2 Special Edition: LeChuck’s Revenge – Now Available!
The remastered, enhanced remake of the classic LucasArts’ adventure game Monkey Island 2: LeChuck’s Revenge is now available for demo or purchase on XBLA, PSN, Steam and iPhone/iPad! As I mentioned earlier this year, I was part of the team of composers and arrangers that worked on the completely reworked musical score for the game, which features literally hours of interactive music.
The reviews are just starting to trickle in, but so far reception of the game and its audio has been outstanding! One reviewer said the new music is “beautiful”, and another praised it as “alarmingly good.” We really put a lot of time into the music, staying true to the spirit of the original MIDIs while breathing life into the production and arrangement by using modern samples and live instrumentation.
Whether you’re a casual gamer or diehard fan of the original game, I’m sure you will enjoy MI2:SE and all it has to offer. If you already have it, post here and let me know what you think!
I have to say, this one is way better than the Monkey Island 1 Special Edition. The game is much better developed, plus, the music is pretty sweet. The special edition feels as good as the original, if not better. Honestly, I would use the old graphics, except the good quality music doesn’t have an option to be in the old style (but they allowed the voices at least!).
Great game, great special edition, great music, great voice acting, great everything pretty much!
